What do you do when someone you trust, admire, and respect hurts you?
I am seriously hurting. Someone very special to me has not been honest and it's definitely affecting more than I thought it would. The main thing that hurts is the person's attitude about the whole situation. When I approached him with the situation, he tells me, "Get over it". Wow. That hurt so bad. His reasoning for being so unapologetic is, in a nutshell, "I should have said something about it three years ago." He never apologized or admitted to it, but he went all around the questions I asked him by saying "How is this relevant to us now?" I could understand where he's coming from if the subject wasn't relevant to his lifestyle, but I feel it's very relevant especially when it comes to the philosophies he lives by. But of course, he doesn't see the point--he was too busy trying to defend the fact that my issues aren't relevant due to the time frame.
You want to talk about time???!?!? Look at this article:

This murder was solved 31 years AFTER a person was killed. Do you think when the police showed up at the murderers doorsteps with a warrant for his arrest the murderer said to police, "How is this relevant to today? I killed this person 31 years ago." A 3-year old kid could answer this question. Back to my story...
The bad thing about this is he KNOWS he's wrong and he refuses to apologize. I'm just hurt. I really thought we were better than that. I only expect the same respect that a person expects from me. Anything less = disrespect. :0(

Is it hurt or disappointment? Know the difference between the two. If it is hurt, then this may be a sign of things to come. If it is disappointment, your expections were different than reality. You were blinded by something and now you see the light.
